Self-righteousness

No other species but humanity destroys its own kind for "ethical" reasons with the aid of technological "advances". No other species would be that righteous. No other species can pave over wetlands and then be amazed that rivers flood. No other species is that foolish. No other species can "harvest" 500 year old forests under the assumption that they can be replaced within 50 years. In fact the concept of "harvesting" the wilderness is a particularly repugnant terminology that pretends that all the earth is merely an outcropping of the agricultural revolution.
